Town Police Clauses Act 1847 - Local Government (Miscellaneous Provisions) Act 1976 - Hackney Carriage and Private Hire Drivers Licence - WMP. Minutes: The Divisional Officer, Licensing, Food and Safety, detailed the background information in respect of WMP. WMP and his representative Mr Warren, outlined the background details and circumstances relating to the convictions and caution and answered Members’ questions. RESOLVED that WMP’s hackney carriage and private hire driver’s licence BE REVOKED. Reason for Decision Members were not satisfied that WMP was a Fit and Proper
Person to hold a licence. Although they felt that the version of events provided
to the Police by WMP was the correct version, WMP had either been dishonest
with the Police or with the General Licensing Committee and so dishonesty had
been present. Members believed that
there had been a pattern of dishonesty with regard to previous offences which
resulted in a previous suspension of WMP’s hackney carriage and private hire
driver licences. However, this had not
been heeded. |

hackney carriage and private hire driver licences be renewed and that OSSE be
issued with a warning letter regarding future conduct. |
